we can all make an impact

repurposed, revived, reclaimed, upcycled

as a boutique that focuses on resale, consignment and reclaimed goods (yep, even some of our handmade furniture pieces utilize reclaimed or recycled materials) we can sometimes use these words like repurposed or resale 100 times a day… at least. and there’s good reason – it’s in our heart to revive things and minimize waste.

and we aren’t just talking about reclaimed wood furniture or decor pieces. did you know that the fashion industry is the second leading polluter in the world? the fast fashion trend might be fun to keep up with – but it is leading to ever growing waste and pollution.

however, shopping resale can help offset these realities. check out just a few of the details below:

the average American closet contains 93 items; the value of these items are estimated at $8,500; 70% of them aren’t worn.

70%

if just 1 out of every 100 American households shopped resale, it could save over 99 billion gallons of water every year.

if just 1 out of every 100 American households shopped resale, it could save over 1.1 billion pounds of CO2 emissions every year.

if just 1 in 100 American households resold their good conditioned items, it would keep 95 million pounds of clothes out of landfills every year.

the need is real. and you can help.

we have a chance to make a real impact. not just in our region, but gloabally – and you can help.
